Actress Scarlett Johansson Gushes She's Drunk the 'Kool-Aid' of 'Amazing' Obama By Brent Baker Created 05/06/2010 - 13:50

Actress Scarlett Johansson, who campaigned for Barack Obama who mentioned getting e-mails from her, remains in the tank for him. She admitted on Wednesday night's Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson [1] that she was amongst those who “drank the Kool-aid” at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner last Saturday where she found him “amazing” and “hilarious.”

Monday's USA Today, as I tweeted [2], quoted Johansson: “I thought (Obama) was hilarious. He has a really dry sense of humor.”

When Ferguson's show returned from a commercial break, as the musical bumper ended viewers could hear Johansson telling Ferguson: “Obama was so amazing. He was hilarious, he was hilarious.” Recognizing viewers caught what she said, “we're on the air now,” Ferguson prompted her to explain, and so she gushed:

I was as the White House Correspondents' dinner and Obama was hilarious, actually. He really like, he, we all drank the Kool-aid. We were sold. It was amazing.

Johansson didn't explain who she meant by “we,” but presumably many of journalists and celebrities in attendance.

She's making the media rounds to plug her role in Iron Man 2. Johansson's IMDb page [3].

Not that good looking either. Not even in the top 50 in my book.
She better save her money because after her looks, such as they are, fail she won’t be able to count on her brain.

Another dumb blond showing that there may be an inverse relationship between bra size and brainpower.

Not only has she partaken the Kool-aid, but she is obeying the Wizard who told her to ignore the man behind the curtain!

Think about the theater-drama types you knew in high school and college. Ever think that maybe they weren’t quite...normal? Well, Hollyweird is the top of that pyramid. Why would anyone want to pattern their lives after them?

She needs to wear that T-Shirt that says, “I Wish These Were Brains.”

She should tattoo that on her lips.

One almost expects to wake up one morning and find this scene reported at the location of a Brentwood party attended by entertainment insiders.

She still thinks it’s “cute” and “funny” to admit having this problem, but it’s a start.

That was my opinion too. People say things like this when they know that what they're doing isn't 100% kosher, but they're looking for a socially acceptable way to couch what they've done.

Think of a FReeper saying stuff along the lines of: "I was surfing on DU the other day. Man, some of those people had legit points. I guess a stopped clock is right twice a day". Need to soften the their actions with socially acceptable platitudes.

IMHO.

I knew her brains had leaked out. Now I know where they went.

It's not Kool-Aid, but actually Flavor-Aid.



I choose to call it Fool-Aid.

LOL! I just knew that would get said, somehow; it just fits her, doesn’t it? What a line!

Dry sense of humor = can’t deliver a punch line

Don’t worry Scarlett. Obama will have the US looking just like your home of South Africa in no time!

(there’s a pic I’d like to post, but I don’t think it would pass muster.)

Good looks and nothing between the ears......

Admit it, there was a time in your life when you spent almost all your time and energy looking for girls like that...

She was joking.

If you see the episode you can see she was joking.

That she used the phrase “Drank the cool aide” was the tell.

Craig is to the left of most liberals. I watch him a lot and he is 100% hate Palin and hate Arizona liberal.

I’d like to acid etch the Join or Die tat off his arm.
